St. Andrews University scientists have found that dolphins, at least the ones they studied, call each other by name. It’s been known for a while that dophin pods have their own unique “school cheer”, but the discovery that each dolphin has its own name suggests their way of thinking is not so different than our own.

Other simularities include war, corperal punishment, and rape… not the image most people have of the seemingly peaceful dolphins. Makes me wonder if dolphins have also founded their own religions, governments, or have developed the one true sign of civilization: knock-knock jokes.
